    Today I went to the Dairy where I buy Milk in glass bottles then I went to my Bakery where I buy bread made on site, seems pretty straight forward. Sunday, a friend offered me some tickets to a MLB game in a few weeks, it is not straight forward.

    It has been many years since I have been to an MLB game, screw them it will be many more years.

    Clubs offer digital ticketing features which will allow you to present existing tickets at the ballpark for entry and accept and forward ticket inventory to and from individuals directly from the MLB Ballpark application. For step by step instructions on accessing your tickets in the app please refer to the sections below. For video tutorials on how to use the MLB Ballpark app, please refer to the club-specific tutorials linked at the bottom of this page.

    Accessing your tickets in the MLB Ballpark app
    Select Clubs offer additional digital ticketing features which will allow you to purchase new tickets, present owned tickets at the ballpark for entry, and forward ticket inventory to and from individuals directly from the MLB Ballpark app "Wallet" section of the "Tickets" tab. For Clubs or venues that do not support the additional features, the ability to view and present tickets for entry will remain available through the "Tickets" and "Home" tabs, on the day of the ticketed event.

    Purchasing tickets
    1. Tap on the "Tickets" tab in the navigation and select "Buy Tickets" section at the top of the view
    2. Make sure you have the correct team selected. If not, tap on the team name filter to change.
    3. Select the game to which you want to buy tickets. Tap on a row with the green ticket icon.
    4. Select your seats
    5. Provide account and payment information
    6. Review and complete your purchase.
    Verifying and accessing a Ticketing Account
    Why verify my email?
    Ballpark allows access and management of tickets purchased or received through any email address once you have confirmed ownership of the email account.

    How do I verify my email?
    1. Fans will login with an MLB account the first time they open the MLB Ballpark app.
    2. Fans who view the "Home" or "Tickets" tabs without a verified account will be prompted to "Go to your MLB Account".
    3. Fans can then "Send" or "Resend" the verification email to their MLB account OR enter the email address of a ticketing account which (s)he wants to verify in order to access tickets.
    4. An email will be sent to that address asking the user to verify that address by tapping on a one-time link.
    5. The account will then be verified and upon returning to the Ballpark app, the fan will have access to their tickets.
    How can I remove a verified account?
    During the verification process, if you've incorrectly added the wrong email address OR would like to remove a secondary account that you've linked to you can do so within the app by:

    1. From the Ballpark app Settings, navigate to the "MLB Account" page by tapping on the settings icon in the top right corner of the "Home" tab.
    2. From the "MLB Account" page, fans can tap on the "Remove" link. This will unlock all verified emails with a (-) button next to each.
    3. Tap on the (-) icon next to the email address you wish to remove.
    4. This will bring up a "Remove" option to the right of the email address. Tap "Remove" to verify the change.
    5. You should no longer see the email address.
    Important Note: While you can remove secondary email addresses, users cannot remove their primary email address (the one used to login to the Ballpark app).

    Scanning a ticket while at the Ballpark
    Quickly access your tickets at the ballpark via the "Home" tab, which is the default tab in the app, or through the "Wallet" section of the "Tickets" tab. Tapping on a ticket will display a "Scan View" for display at the ballpark. This view will display your event information, seating information, and account information. If you have multiple tickets or parking passes, you can swipe through them in "Scan View" or access them in list view from "Wallet".

    Forwarding a Ticket
    To forward a ticket, go to the "Wallet" section of the "Tickets" tab and tap on the game for which you have ticket(s) to open the ticket list. Please be advised that not all tickets are eligible for forwarding; if not eligible, the option to forward the ticket will not be available.

    Note: The ticket can be forwarded via email [via Email] or via link [Share Link]. When Forwarding via Share Link, please be advised that whomever has access to the URL will be able to receive the ticket. Take care sharing this on social networks or other public forums.

    When viewing your list of tickets for a game, tap on the "Forward Tickets" button. This will enable you to select the ticket(s) you wish to forward.

    For an Individual ticket:
    1. Tap on the "selection circle" to the left of the ticket that you wish to forward. A check mark will appear next to the selected ticket.
    2. Tap the "Forward Tickets" button and choose your delivery method.

    • [via Email] - An email address is required; a name and message are optional.
    • [Share Link] - A link will be copied for you to share.
    • [Select from Contacts] - Your device's Contacts will appear, giving you the ability to select a contact and then the contact's email address or phone number (if stored in your device).

If a phone number is selected, you will be able to forward the ticket through a text conversation.

    The ticket will be moved into a "Pending" state until the ticket is accepted. The sender can revoke the forward until it is forwarded again or scanned for entry.

    3. The recipient will arrive at a webpage to accept the ticket(s).
      1. This page will bring fans who have already downloaded the app directly in so they can retrieve their tickets.
      2. If the user does not already have the MLB Ballpark app and is using an iOS or Android device, they will be directed to download the app.
      3. If they are on a non-supported platform (e.g. Blackberry, Windows, PC), they can accept or reject the ticket via a web flow. Those fans can then access ticket(s) via the Club Ticket Provider Portal.
    4. The sender and recipient will be notified by email when the transaction is complete.
    Additionally, you may have been forwarded a ticket to a MLB account that has not yet completed email verification. By simply verifying your email, Ballpark will automatically accept any forwards that were in progress to that email.

    It's like they don't want you at the ballpark! There is always TV and radio, plus it doesn't cost an arm and a leg for food, beverages, and parking. Also, no line for the bathroom.

    It's a pity as Baseball was our national game. Frankly, I have given up on ALL professional team sports. Screw their kneeing for the national anthem, their changing of the national anthem, their support for all the BS DEI we had shoved down our throats under Biden, their toleration of sicko, self-centered, overpaid and pampered pompous-ass players... Screw them and their game(s). They will never see another penny of my money. I don't go to their overpriced games, I don't watch them on the television or even listen to them on the radio. I don't need them and certainly don't want them - ever again.

    In the 60s I spent a good part of 2 summers hanging around a MLB ballpark, a great memory of my youth, when ball players had winter jobs to make ends meet.
    As noted, pro sports is shit these days and with all the sports sponsored by the legal sports betting outfits, it is just a matter of time before there is a major betting scandal.

    The only sports teams that I have ever followed were my high school, my college and the University of Alabama. My high school was consolidated, and my college sucks big time since moving from Division II to Division I. My family went to a lot of Alabama football games in Legion Field, but I haven't been to a game since Coach Bear Bryant died. Lots of great memories from those days.

    Meh. I watched my last game when the greedy bastards went on strike and didn't play the World Series in 94.

    Baseball was one of the last true sports that didn't go all corporate, now they are just as woke as the rest!
    Only one worse was when NASCAR went full semi auto retard, anti 2nd, anti American, I quit them all.

    Played baseball as a kid in school, Little League was both amazing and heartbreaking, that was when I discovered the dark side of sports, the petty scandals, the cheating, all that, and I stopped playing by the end of my sophomore season! I still like to watch the kids playing, it's still a mostly pure sport, plus, I get to eat sno-cones and not look stupid! I refuse to watch any thing collage and higher, it's all about the money now, and no longer about the sport! We didn't need to have team tryouts, you wanted to play, you played, you might not be varsity, but you still got to play!
